In its pure form, this blog is about my playing, and reporting on playing, the Nintendo version of the game Pool of Radiance by SSI for the Nintendo 8 Bit platform. If things go well, I shall continue the experiment with other older games as well.

I Might As Well Admit It

For the time being, this blog is on official HIATUS. It's been a month since I have been able to seriously play Pool Of Radiance for the NES. I have played it a few times, but both times I have stupidly lost all my progress. So, just to let everyone know, for the time being, the blog is

And, while the grass may be growing thick around the posts holding the sign up and the sign itself may be old, the paint peeling, and fading from years of sun, believe me when I say this:

These Is The Rulez

1) I ain't no cheater. No cheats and no intentional exploits of bugs. Trust me (taps cigar into ashtray), would this guy lie to you?

2) Reloads only when the party dies an ignominious death. One or more character deaths merely means I beat feet to a healer- I don't reload the game just to get a better outcome. This applies to other situations as well- just 'cause I don't like what I finds me in a chest don't mean I reload the game for a chance of a better outcome. Don't bust my chops on this.
